[opensuse] tool for analysing word docs?
by Dave Howorth 19 May '10

19 May '10

Is there a tool that will analyse word docs? I'm interested to know what version of word created a .doc file, or at least to learn as much about the format as possible.

[opensuse] Can I easily tile a desktop in KDE 4.3 (openSUSE 11.2)?
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 May '10

19 May '10

I sometimes run a number of related applications in a Desktop on KDE. I find myself tiling the desktop with these by hand. Is there a way to tile a desktop with it's windows in some easy manner? I have a vague memory of something in KDE3. But I cannot remember what it was. If it makes any difference, I am not using any desktop effects. So it would have to work without effects. Any suggestions? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] SFTP performance degradation under Dolphin and Konqueror
by Boris Epstein 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hello everyone, Something very curious has just been discovered here. We have a machine running SSH/SFTP server (a Windows XP machine if that matters). The network is a mix of 100 Mbit and 1000 Mbit ports (12.5 and 125 MB/s, respectively). When we use command-line sftp to transfer files we get decent speed (from 7 MB/s and upwards). When we use graphical interfaces on either OpenSuSE or Ubuntu (and it is the same whether it is Konqueror or Dolphin) the transfer speed drops down to no more than 2 MB/s and sometimes even to 500 KB/s. Any idea why? Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Zypper died suddenly!
by John E. Perry 19 May '10

19 May '10

I just tried my second "zypper up" after switching from "zypper dup" due to the responses to my "Changing zypper command" message of last week. Oops. zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.619: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Now, yast won't start (dbus error), zypper won't start. I suppose I might manually copy the library, if I knew where to get it and where to put it. Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling suse? I do have the opensuse ISO's on my hard drive, but since I haven't downloaded Krusader since going to 11.2, I don't know how to get into it. Even if the .619 version is there. Keep in mind that I'm a fairly advanced _user_ with no more SA skills than one learns by watching and asking questions on this list (embedded systems engineer -- wasn't even sure what "systems administrator" meant until subscribing here :-).

[opensuse] 11.0 libtool-2.2.6b install error: it looks for /usr/bin/tar instead of /bin/tar
by David C. Rankin 19 May '10

19 May '10

Guys, Latest libtool put out for 11.0 fails to install because it looks for a file that isn't there. On 11.0 I have /bin/tar and no /usr/bin/tar. The libtool package install craters when it doesn't find /usr/bin/tar. I even built from srpm to make sure - same results: [11:28 alchemy:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64] # rpm -Uvh libltdl7-2.2.6b-13.1.x86_64.rpm libtool-2.2.6b-13.1.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: /usr/bin/tar is needed by libtool-2.2.6b-13.1.x86_64 [11:28 alchemy:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64] # l /usr/bin/tar ls: cannot access /usr/bin/tar: No such file or directory [11:29 alchemy:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64] # l /bin/tar -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1300254 2010-02-15 17:58 /bin/tar* Is this something I can change in the spec?

I am looking for the correct program to install to allow the mic or line input to be mixed with system audio/sounds. I did try jack but can't get it to do anything. Not sure what to try next. Sound device is listed as MCP51 High Definition Audio, Driver snd-hda-intel.

[opensuse] IPv6 access over IPv4 ISP
by James Knott 18 May '10

18 May '10

I've been experimenting with IPv6 recently. Since my ISP does not provide IPv6, I used a gateway, which I tunnel to via IPv4 UDP. Clients for this are available for Linux, Mac, BSD, Solaris etc., even Windows. The service and client are free after you sign up. The Windows client is an executable and requires .NET. The rest have to be compiled for the appropriate platform. I have tried it on both OpenSUSE 11.0 (32 & 64 bit) and XP. It appears to work fine with both. You can use ipv6.google.com to test the client, as that site is not available via IPv4. The gogonet site is accessible via both IPv4 & IPv6. You can sign up and get the client here: http://gogonet.gogo6.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Google Chrome Web Browser
by Tony 18 May '10

18 May '10

Has anyone tried Google Chrome web browser. One big issue is flash stuff, when zoomed in or out, does not respond to the mouse pointer location correctly, meaning where mouse is pointing at is not the actual location. Anyone tried chrome ? Anyone have a work around if at all ? Thanks, Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
